SIZING COMPOUND.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 744,734, dated November 24, 1903.- Application filed May 16, 1903. Serial No. 157,473. (No specimens.)

5 Carolina, have invented certain .new and useful Improvements in Sizing Compounds, of which the following is a specification.

The primary object of this invention is the provision of a mixture for treating threads,

such as cotton-warp, to facilitate their separation in beaming and weaving and prevent the eyes of the heddles from rusting.

In preparing the compound the following ingredients are combined in'about the proportions stated, e.: paraffin-oil, one hundred pounds; paraffin 7 wax, twenty five pounds; sa1soda,one pound; b0rax,4 ounces; The constituents are mixed and boiled for about one half hour.

The paraffin-oil serves to soften the yarn and ing in weaving. The alkali contained in the sal-soda, borax, and sulfate of soda cuts the oil and fatty matter of the paraffin oil and wax and insures a thorough admixture thereof, thereby preventing separation of the ingredients and insuring a combining essential to a perfectly-smooth compound.

It will be observed that the compound is free from moisture, and under ordinary temperature is of the consistency of lard or paste and will not freeze in the coldest weather or ferment in warm weather or places.
